Messing around with various ORMs
posted by david(405) 4 years, 4 months ago 0
Hi Jesse, My main aim for writing the posts was to give myself (and any one else that stumbled across the series) a quick guide on how to set up each ORM, and then how to do some basic operations with each. It was not meant to be a review of each product. I deliberately tried to avoid drawing big conclusions about which is best, because of how simple the example is and because I haven't used all the tools in real projects. Sorry I couldn't give you specific answers to you question :)

Haha, point taken :D I'll try be more opinionated next time. ;)
The DotNetKicks Effect - Enjoy While it Lasts

Hope everyone that reads this subscribes to the Upcoming Stories RSS feed and spends a small amount of time each day kicking anything decent. I'm not convinced that DotNetKicks will end up like Digg due to the very different audience and topics covered, but it still draws attention to the fact that the more we all participate in the process, the better DotNetKicks potentially is.

@YesThatMcGurk, LOL. Thought about it, but Blogger works for storing info I want to reference later. Not too interested in step 4 :) (I bet that's what all the cheapa$$s say ;))

The linked to post is an effort to work through a problem posed on the dev102.com site (kicked here: http://www.dotnetkicks.com/architecture/A_Programming_Job_Interview_Challenge_13_Brackets). Probably a good idea to look at that first (especially if you're keen to work through the problem yourself).
